opinion on spanking children

alrite this is my opinion on spanking children

Firstly i have to say it is not TOTALLY right or TOTALLY wrong... its in the 'grey' area.
Reason being, whether a child deserves a spanking varies with different conditions,
e.g.
what the child did to deserve a spanking
If the child reacts and learns from spankings? [ i mean if ur the parent you wld know whether ur child responds well to spankings, or if they will just end up hating you in the long run...]
etc...

basically what im trying to get at is that, if the child has committed something that calls for a spanking, give your kid the spanking but just not too hard n not OVERDONE, or you might create more trouble for urself.
it is also good to remember that kids going through puberty [norm aged 12 -16] are mostly rebellious and violence against them may influence the development of a nonviolent resorting character...
i mean we all know that hitting a child will only work up to a certain extend, once that "line" is crossed, thigns just turn bad. Feelings of Hurt, Hate, Anger etc will build up and these feelings are potentially harmful to parent-children relationships, Nevetherless i feel it really comes down to the judgement of the parents.
There is no right or wrong i guess ....

Does that help bryan??? i duno i was just typing whateva came to my mind lol but yeh =P
